The metabolomic profiling analyses of 11 vitamins' statuses of wheat grain in a subsample of 167 accessions from the INRAE worldwide bread wheat core collection planted in two contrasting environments in France (Le Moulon and Clermont-Ferrand) have been evaluated using a high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) procedure. This has allowed us to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for these nutritional traits of interest combining the phenotypic data with the genotypic data derived from the TaBW280K SNP chip. Considering both thresholds ( < 0.

It is therefore important to determine the content of micronutrient in wheat and wheat-based food products to define the contribution of wheat-based foods to the nutrition of the consumers. The aim of the present work was to develop a simple and rapid method based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of seven water-soluble vitamins in various wheat-based food materials.

- Biofortification programs have led to the creation of quality protein maize (QPM), enhancing essential amino acids like lysine and tryptophan for populations reliant on maize as a main food source.
- To improve breeding programs for QPM, a reliable and cost-effective method for analyzing tryptophan in whole-grain maize flour was developed, utilizing a chemical reaction that produces a measurable colored compound.
- The optimized protocol, which includes specific reagent concentrations and a 30-minute reaction time, yielded stable results and was validated against other analytical methods, facilitating high-throughput testing through a microplate platform.
